Mystery Mountain Lyrics

[Verse]
Mountain of mystery
Rising high above the clouds
Mountain of magic
Standing tall and proud
Your magical veins
Flowing silver and gold
Your cumulus cloud glows misty red
As Apollo sets beyond your head

Releasing the pressure built over the years
The mountain is crying hot lava tears
Molten rock created under vibrations of
Subterranean thunder
Ejecting boulders like pieces of sand
The mountain is
Giving birth to the land

Under your feet you feel a rumble
As thousands of rocks are starting to tumble
Above the trees where the buzzard flies
Swirling vapors begin to rise
Beneath those misty peaks you hide
A tremendous force boiling deep inside

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
